The rewrite relation of the following TRS is considered.
| 
+(0,0) | 
→ | 
0 | 
| 
+(s(0),y) | 
→ | 
s(+(0,y)) | 
| 
+(x,s(y)) | 
→ | 
s(+(y,x)) | 
| 
s(s(x)) | 
→ | 
x | 
Proof
1 Non-Joinable Fork
        The system is not confluent due to the following forking derivations.  
        
| t0
 | 
= | 
+(y1,s(s(x1))) | 
 | 
→2
 | 
+(y1,x1) | 
 | 
= | 
t1
 | 
| t0
 | 
= | 
+(y1,s(s(x1))) | 
 | 
→ε
 | 
s(+(s(x1),y1)) | 
 | 
= | 
t1
 | 
            
        The two resulting terms cannot be joined for the following reason:
        - When applying the cap-function on both terms (where variables may be treated like constants)
            then the resulting terms do not unify.
